First thing is that you can make bboxes normal-size after the first
step, when interactions are created (that's what I do).

Second, you could write your own engine to create the interactions, but
you would probably more or less copy spatial seach that is already in
the collider.

Finally, there is also
https://www.yade-dem.org/sphinx/yade.utils.html#yade.utils.createInteraction if you need just a few interactions.
